Rogue Wave covers the best of the 1980’s on this limited edition Record Store Day exclusive release, featuring songs by The Cure, Genesis, ZZ Top, The Cult, Echo & the Bunnyment and others. Limited edition pressing of 1750 on opaque hot pink vinyl in a gorgeous gatefold jacket, featuring artwork from Swedish artist Adam Priester.

The 80’s were a unique time in music history. It was the golden age of synthesizers and drum machines, and it was the era in which we first fell in love with music. It is our favorite era of pop. And it wasn’t just the music. The whole decade had a unique vibe with respect to fashion and visual art as well, as the two forms of visual and audio art informed each other. For this recording, we decided to make our own versions of some of our favorite artists of the time.

When the project began, we made a list of artists we would like to cover. Of course, that list grew very long very quickly. Narrowing the list down was, as it always seems to be, an exercise letting things go. Some of the songs sounded too close to the original, so those went away. Others started to really feel like they became a part of us. The deeper we fell into these songs, the deeper our sense of gratitude for those that have been and continue to be our musical heroes. Great songs are a blueprint. A map to remind you of the most important things you already know.
